A Word from the President
Happy New Year! I hope you enjoyed a relaxing holiday and are ready to embrace this time of new beginning and fresh starts.
Last month, I was pleased and honored to distribute the proceeds from this year’s CIRI Golf Classic to three deserving nonprofit organizations that focus on youth and education.
For those of you who turned out for either of our recent Potlatches, held Oct. 13 in Kenai, Alaska, and Oct. 20 in Anchorage, thank you! I truly value our time together and the traditions we share.
September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, America faces an unprecedented suicide epidemic.
Earlier this summer, I was fortunate to attend a meeting of the Tikahtnu Forum. It is gratifying when individuals and organizations come together to work toward improving the lives of Alaska Native people.
Next year may seem a long way off, but the U.S. Census Bureau is already preparing for the 2020 census. When the time comes, I urge you to stand up and be counted!
Along with many Alaskans, CIRI leadership has been closely monitoring the Alaska State Legislature and the governor’s work on the fiscal year 2020 budget.
Happy summer! The sights, sounds and smells of the season are fully upon us.
Thank you to all the CIRI shareholders who attended any of our recent Information Meetings, held April 20 in Anchorage, April 27 in Kenai, Alaska, and May 11 in Shoreline, Wash.
Happy spring! April is the time of year we start gearing up for the CIRI Information Meetings and Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
